6:30 am Monday morning and able bodied young men are clustering around a clubhouse waiting for who to beg for money.. 😭😭😭😭
God go punish Nigerian politicians every 2 days.
I hate when people look at guys like this and look down on their work. Wake up and smell the gutter; to be anything at all in this country is a hard task; to be a self-taught robotics engineer is impressive.
“On behalf of every Nigerian mother and family, I’m writing this open letter to FrieslandCampina WAMCO, the makers of Peak Milk, Three Crowns, Olympic and Coast Milk.
Peak Milk has been around for more than 70 years. Our mothers trusted these brands and handed them down to us, and now we are about to hand them over to our children. Suddenly, something appears to have gone wrong with these products we have trusted for decades.
At some point, we made excuses that perhaps some people were producing fake milk. But now, we have come to realise that, alongside the fake products in the market, some of the products that have gone bad are reportedly original products from your brand.
At this point, we are scared, we are asking questions, and we deserve answers.”

I was awakened this morning and shockingly informed that the Nigerian Presidency (@officialABAT), through one of its ambassadors, threatened on Twitter to kidnap and harm me. The firm is taking this threat from the #Nigerian government seriously, and we will be contacting federal law enforcement tomorrow.
As President #Trump bravely showed us, when you stand up to evil, they will come after your life. To the Nigerian Presidency, I am not afraid of you or your kidnappers or assassins. And if, by some chance, you are able to harm me, my “only regret would be that I have but one life to lose for my country.”
I will never regret working to ensure that President Trump and Congress were informed that Nigeria’s President #Tinubu was allegedly part of a criminal organization that smuggled heroin from Nigeria into the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. Borrowing from President Trump, the firm will continue to "fight, fight, fight" to ensure that those who smuggle poison into our country are held accountable.
We owe it to the thousands of Americans who die from drug overdoses each year.

I have watched Yusuf Aliyu’s video repeatedly, and each time, my heart breaks.
A child with such intelligence, clarity and confidence should be in a classroom building his future—not struggling for survival in a community surrounded by gold but buried in poverty.
I cannot look at him and see an “illegal miner.” I see a Nigerian child failed by the country that should have protected him. I see brilliance trapped by poverty and enormous promise abandoned by leadership.
I appeal specifically for his safety. His courage must not expose him or his family to intimidation or retaliation. I am prepared to support his education and ensure that the brilliance we have witnessed is not buried by poverty. Any effort to reach him must be handled responsibly through his family and appropriate child-protection channels.
But this video raises a question that should trouble the conscience of every Nigerian: how can a community sitting upon gold remain so poor that it cannot educate its children? How can its wealth leave the soil while hunger and deprivation remain in its homes?
This is an indictment of the Tinubu administration. The Federal Government controls Nigeria’s mineral resources, yet the communities producing that wealth remain without schools, opportunities or protection.
The contrast is revealing. President Buhari established PAGMI to register, train and integrate artisanal miners into the formal economy, with Niger State included among its intervention states. Tinubu inherited that framework but has met these vulnerable citizens with raids, detention and the label “illegal miners.”
Buhari saw people to formalise. Tinubu sees poor people to criminalise.
This boy is evidence against the Tinubu government. His intelligence exposes the opportunities it has failed to provide. His poverty exposes the injustice of Nigeria’s mining economy. His presence at that site exposes an administration that has left brilliant children without a ladder out of deprivation.
The government must explain what became of PAGMI in Niger State and how 37 Nigerians died in the custody of a federal agency. Calling them “illegal miners” cannot erase their humanity or excuse their deaths.
As a father, a grandfather and a Nigerian, I refuse to look away. I will continue to speak for these children because their lives matter, their dreams matter and their future belongs to Nigeria.
The gold beneath their community should build classrooms and livelihoods, not graves. —AA
China comes to Nigeria, mines our raw materials with little government oversight and at almost no cost, and sends them back to China to manufacture products that are eventually sold to Nigeria and other African countries at significantly higher prices.
It is time we set tribalism aside and start looking inward.
If nothing is done, China could completely take over Nigeria’s economy within the next five years.
Nigeria cannot sell finished products to China, yet we consume almost everything they produce.
What, then, is the future of our children?
It is now a matter of urgency that we develop critical skills within Nigeria and take control of our economy.

Sadly, many went too early. Earlier than they should have, if they had different circumstances.
